    My 3G frame. I think it is a Venice model but the Newport appears identical.

    Craigslist find of the day. Front tire and rim were stolen and not included in sale. It is literally like new!!!

    Fattest tires for 26" rim?

    The 26X3 Duros worked well on my 3G frames. They are slightly wider than the original 3G Boa tires that were stock and priced well. I think you'll have plenty of room with that Electra frame.

    Bottom Bracket BeeHive!!!

    I wondered how they got in there too. I think they came in through the rear fender mount hole and worked their way to the bottom bracket.

    Bottom Bracket BeeHive!!!

    I picked up this gem for free at a curbside purge. Chain was rusted frozen and bottom bracket needed an overhaul. Found a mass grave of bees in bottom bracket and thought that to be strange. Never know what you are going to get until you tear it down. Weird!

    [/URL][/IMG] I wanted to go with a larger tire on "White Lightning" and tried these Duro Beach Bum's. Looks and rides great and less than half the cost of the 3G Boa G's.

    I must share a Craigslist find. $50.00!!! Easily the most comfortable cruising bike I have yet ridden. The overall ergonomics of this thing scream comfort! The Boa G's ride super smooth. The bottom bracket pushed in a forward position is pure genius in ride comfort! I have many bikes that...

    What to call it? Klunker, Cruiser, BMX....CruiseXXX?

    Thanks Luke! I would agree with the name only IF I was to add a BMX cross bar type handlebar. But I intend to use a traditional cruiser type comfort handlebar AND Cruiser type comfort saddle. Almost ALL BMX Cruiser's that I have noticed (googled, etc.) usually have BMX type handlebars and a...

    What to call it? Klunker, Cruiser, BMX....CruiseXXX?

    I have been playing around with a 3G frame and some extra parts I have. The photo is a basic mock up of frame, forks, stem and the front tire will be front and back which is a Fat Frank. Got a BMX 3 piece crank to add as I build her up. Going with Cruiser bars and a comfortable 3G Cruiser...

    I picked up this 3G on Craigs for dirt cheap. As it sits here the only good parts to work with is the frame, forks, stem, seat post and clamp, and amazingly the seat is in decent shape. Plans to make it my own are a new wheel and tire set, sealed bearing headset, 3G Royal handlebars, sealed...
